Local Organizations Promote Maternal Health Events in Georgia

During the June 3, 2025, Regular Session in Hiram City, community leaders emphasized the importance of supporting families, particularly in the area of maternal health. A speaker highlighted the often-overlooked issue of postpartum depression, noting that one in ten men also experience this condition, which is rarely discussed. This call for awareness aims to foster a more supportive environment for both mothers and fathers in the community.

In addition to maternal health discussions, several upcoming community events were announced that aim to engage residents and promote local initiatives. Notably, the Juneteenth celebration will take place on June 20 at the Howard Roosevelt School and Museum in Graysville Park. This event is part of a broader effort to celebrate cultural heritage and community unity.

Another significant event is the West Georgia Recovery Rally, scheduled for June 10 from 12 PM to 3 PM at the Paulding County Parks Recreation and Cultural Affairs. This rally, organized by the Paulding Recovery Community Organization, will celebrate the achievements of individuals in recovery and promote awareness of recovery resources.

Additionally, a networking opportunity called "First Friday Vibes" is set for June 6 at the County Chamber of Commerce, providing a platform for local businesses and residents to connect over breakfast.

These discussions and events reflect the city’s commitment to fostering community well-being and engagement, addressing both immediate needs and long-term goals for residents. As Hiram City continues to prioritize family support and community connection, these initiatives are expected to have a positive impact on local life.
